Since the 1970s, molecular techniques, such as whole-DNA hybridization and 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing, have gradually become widely used by microbial ecologists to differentiate species in ...

PCR genetic analysis has been in the spotlight since COVID-19, but light is now further facilitating PCR-free methods. Osaka ...

This process, known as DNA hybridization, allows the matching strands to bind together, making the pairing detectable through fluorescence. The researchers then irradiated, with laser light ...
